Abstract
Disclosed is a ventilation outlet including one or more flow directing elements arranged movably in a housing and with an actuating element mounted movably on the housing with an actuating knob for actuating at least one flow directing element for controlling a ventilation gas flow and with a light source for illuminating the actuating knob. A movable mounting of the actuating element permits a movement of the actuating element with at least one degree of freedom and the light source is arranged outside the actuating knob in such a way that light can be coupled into the actuating knob and at least partially illuminates an operating side of the actuating knob from the inside.
